Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Universal Relocations, a renowned global leader in international moving and relocation services, has proudly marked a significant milestone: the successful completion of its first year of operations in Dubai. With an impressive track record already established, the company announced its exciting next step—a new office opening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Founded back in 1998 in Chennai, India, Universal Relocations has grown steadily over more than two decades. Originally dominating the relocation sector in India, the company expanded its reach across the United States and, most recently, made its way into the UAE market. This strategic growth highlights Universal Relocations’ commitment to serving global citizens with dependable and comprehensive moving solutions.
The Dubai office, launched in early 2024, quickly became a pivotal hub for expatriates and non-resident Indians (NRIs) moving between the Middle East, India, and the United States. The company’s edge lies in offering fully in-house services that cover every part of the moving journey. Whether it’s professional packing, customs clearance, or even specialized pet relocation, Universal Relocations ensures a seamless experience for its clients. Their focus on eco-friendly packing solutions and real-time shipment tracking has resonated well with customers in the UAE’s dynamic and highly transient market.
Sai Dattani, President of Universal Relocations, emphasized the strategic importance of Dubai in their global operations: “Dubai is a highly transient market, and our decision to establish here was strategic. In just one year, we’ve been able to simplify relocations for countless families and businesses while introducing innovative solutions that meet the exacting standards of UAE clients.”
Riding on the success in Dubai, the company is now set to expand further into the Middle East by opening a new branch in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This extension reflects Universal Relocations’ long-term vision for the region, aiming to provide the same high level of reliable service to Saudi clients. Anu Dattani, Vice President of Universal Relocations, noted the positive feedback received from UAE clients as a motivating factor behind this expansion. She stated, “As we expand into Saudi Arabia, we’re confident in our ability to replicate our success and raise the standard of relocation services across the region.”
Universal Relocations is addressing some of the most common challenges faced by the international moving industry in the Middle East, such as inconsistent service quality and complex regulatory environments. Their approach centers on operational consistency, compliance expertise, and personalized care. Currently operating 11 offices worldwide—five in India, five in the United States, and one in Dubai—the company is strategically positioned to manage cross-continental moves with precision and care.
Whether it’s shipping from the UAE to the USA or managing multinational corporate and family relocations, Universal Relocations continues to redefine what moving means for today’s global citizens. Offering end-to-end services from packing and freight forwarding to customs clearance and pet relocation, the company’s mission remains clear: to simplify international moves with a strong focus on reliability, compliance, and customer care.
